THE republican candidates for office
this spring do not propose to hide their
light under bushel. Already two ans
nouneemcnts have been made for the
office of city treasurer and town collector.
As this is good paying position with
little to do, it is not surprising that il
should be particularly sought after.
Martin W. Burgh and c. E. Case are the
two avowed candidates for the place.
Burgh feels that the republicans did not
exactly do the right thing by him lasi
fall, and would like to see his claims &C
ceded to without opposition. Case has
been turnkey under democratic sheriff

Mary Druse, the daughter, was sent to the

the crime, and on Monday morning last Mrs
Druse made an affidavitentir generating
her daughter Mary of any participation in
the crime. An appeal will at once be made
to the governor on behalf of the daughter. If
it should transpire that new evidence tending
to confirm this affidavit be found, the gov

opened. The affidavit was drawn up at Mrs.

vivors of the British ship klpnnda which
came into collision with the British bark
Ada Melmore off the coast OF Biuzi, IN Jan

that the Ada Meimore was solely to blame
for the collision, that vesse! having displayed

stating that the stewardess OF that vessel
had locked the single women in their hunks,
in accordance with the rules governing the
transportation Of emigrants and that the
imprisoned women were unable to extricate
themselves The REALTORS of the story Of the
